For the Black Entertainment Television (BET) Awards, which took place on 24 June 2019 at the Microsoft Theater in Los Angeles, Sila Sveta collaborated with Cardi B's team for the American hip-hop diva's live performance.
Awards
Cardi B and Offset opened the show with an electrifying medley of their recent songs 'Clout' and 'Press'. Flanked by a dozen dancers, the hip hop power couple flaunted the eye-catching moves choreographed by the award-winning Tanisha Scott, Cardi B’s creative director who previously worked with some of the world's most famous artists, including Beyonce, Rihanna and Alicia Keys. That night, Cardi B walked away with the award for Best Female Hip-Hop Artist, and for Album of The Year.
Working closely with Cardi B's team, Sila Sveta designed visuals that elevated the dance-intensive performance. As the dancers moved, the abstract particles went off and reassembled in sync with the explosive hip hop beats. The Bronx diva’s uniquely bold and glamorous style was reflected in the visuals with diamond sparkles, colorful crystals and the splashes of the liquid metal appearing on the dark background.
